How We Help New Grads

GradStaff helps recent grads find exciting entry-level positions

In college, you dream of your first professional job.  You dream of what you can accomplish.  Then, the reality of finding the dream job sets in.

Finding a great job is hard work.  And frustrating.

You are about to graduate, but don’t have a job yet.  Or, you graduated several months ago and still haven’t found a good position.  Maybe you’ve had 10 or more interviews, but no offers.  Your parents are on your back.  College loans are coming due.

The market is competitive.

You are not alone.  Even in good years, over 50% of college grads don’t have a job at graduation; in recessionary years it can be less than 25%.  These statistics surprise people.  The reasons are many.  Some have no luck interviewing on campus.  Some grads just don’t think about getting a job until they graduate.  Others may want to take some time off to travel or do volunteer work.  Still others aren’t sure how their degree and skills can be applied in the real world.  The point is that many graduating seniors don’t start their job search until after they’ve left school and are on their own.  There are many new grads in your situation.

Recognize when you need help.

At GradStaff, we understand how difficult it is to find the right career opportunity after earning your degree, especially if you are conducting your first professional job search.  It can feel like trying to scale a tall mountain alone.  We can help you scale that mountain.

Like any business, you need a strategy.

We understand that to be successful in your job search, you need to develop a well-thought out strategy and have the discipline to execute it.  It starts with understanding the skills and attributes you possess that have value in the workplace.  When you understand your strengths and potential value to an employer, you can then identify the careers that best fit your core attributes and career interests.  Once you’ve developed this focus, success will depend on your ability to conduct your job search and your ability to interview and present yourself as the best possible fit for each position.
